解析【文章大意】本文是廣告類的文章。介紹了大學部分服務(wù)項目的情況。一是介紹了自助餐廳、咖啡館，它們營業(yè)的項目及時間、地點等。二是可以讓學生放松娛樂的地方，可以在這里自己做飯，組織一些活動等。三是關(guān)于健康保健衛(wèi)生，學生可以去咨詢有關(guān)健康保健的問題。四是學術(shù)支持中心。學生有什么寫作、語法、詞匯或其他學術(shù)問題可以填表登記預約。五是學校有班車來回接送學生往來于學校和商場之間，很是方便。
【小題1】C.考查細節(jié)理解。在TWU的自助餐廳你可以做什么？根據(jù)food部分第一段第二句可知可以在這里吃飯；根據(jù)you can use the tables to eat your lunch to have meetings and to study.可以遇見朋友，故選C。這里如果考生不細心的話，有可能選干擾最強的選項D，選項D的內(nèi)容都是food部分的內(nèi)容，選項D提到的充錢是在TWU的自助餐廳，而下棋是在the Lower Café,這很容易讓考生誤選D。
【小題2】A. 考查細節(jié)理解。在什么時間和什么地點可以自己做飯？根據(jù)Relaxation部分敘述的可知可以在這里Clobe作飯，時間是除了周日，所以周五可以在這里做飯，故選A。
【小題3】D. 考查細節(jié)理解。The Guide告訴我們the Wellness Center什么？根據(jù)A doctor
and nurse is available if you have health questions or need immediate medical help or personal advice.可知這里能夠給出關(guān)于健康一些建議，故選D。
【小題4】C. 考查細節(jié)理解。你怎樣從the Writing Center尋求幫助？根據(jù)You can sign up for an appointment on the sign-up sheet outside.可知要想得到幫助需要填寫登記表，故選C。
【小題5】D.考查細節(jié)理解。TWU班車什么作用？根據(jù)The shuttle transport students between campus and the shopping centre.可知主要接送學生往來于學校與商場之間，故選D。

閱讀快車系列答案科目：高中英語 來源： 題型：閱讀理解
What time is it？Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist; there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard .
Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (調(diào)節(jié)) the beating of our heart, the peace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.
Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “who’s in charge？” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.
By taking control of how you spend your time, you'll increase your chances of becoming a more
successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your
studies, the more time you'll have to spend on your outside interests.
The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that
governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use
our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss
next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.
【小題1】The underlined word “ally” in Para.3 most likely means somebody or something that is ________.
| A．your slave and serves you |
| B．your supporter an helps you |
| C．under your control and obeys you |
| D．under your influence and follows you |
| A．could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch |
| B．could be managed by the internal clock by human bodies |
| C．should be well managed for our own interest |
| D．should be saved for outside interests |
| A．how to keep up with the times | B．how to make up for lost time |
| C．how to have a good time | D．how to make good use of time |
